In this section, we will go through the example.test.yml
step by step as I will explain the options available.
The configuration file is split into few sections:
- EasyEngine
- Wordpress Installation
- Workflow
- Plugins
- Themes
- Setup
- With
wplocale
you can select what language to download and install WordPress. Use language Codes likeen_US
oren_GB
. - Add your timezone as string to
timezone
. See List of Supported Timezones. admin
defines the default admin user. Set your preferred username, password and email.

- In
wpsettings
you can define WP-Options like url, title, description, the permalink_structure or edit the default image sizes and more. - Set

to true to setfrontpage_name
as default front page. - If you set

false, smilies wont be converted to image-smilies automatically.

Now you can install a (starter-) theme if you want. Simply add the name and download-url of the theme. WP Distillery will then download, unzip and install the theme. If you do not leave rename
empty, it will also rename the installed theme folder. By default, WPDistillery/vagrant-easyengine will also delete the delete the default WordPress themes defined at remove
. If you don't want this, just leave it empty: remove: ""
.
# THEMES
#################################################################
# install a custom theme via url, rename it and remove default themes
themes:
name: WPSeed
url: "https://github.com/flurinduerst/WPSeed/archive/master.zip"
rename: ""
remove:

- twentyseventeen
You can select what plugins you want WP Distillery to install for you. Split into two sections you can define which plugins to download and install, and which to also activate. By default this section contains a few recommendations.

Maybe you don't want to install a theme? Or you prefer keeping the default posts and files it comes with? Within the setup options at the bottom of the file you can tell WPDistillery/vagrant-easyengine which tasks to perform. Simply set those you wan't to skip to false
